Musk的DOGE声称有大量联邦储蓄,但一项纽约时报的分析发现,大多数削减都是虚假的、夸大或根本不存在的,支出增加,业务中断。 Musk's DOGE claimed massive federal savings, but a NYT analysis found most cuts were false, exaggerated, or nonexistent, with spending rising and operations disrupted.

2025年初,Elon Musk的政府效率部声称削减联邦支出,但《纽约时报》的一项分析发现,它的大部分主要节余是虚假的或夸大了。 In early 2025, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed to slash federal spending, but a New York Times analysis found most of its major savings were false or exaggerated. 尽管承诺削减1万亿美元,但联邦支出却有所增加,而且许多报告的节余来自重复计算、数据过时或合同已经取消等错误。 Despite promises of $1 trillion in cuts, federal spending increased, and many reported savings stemmed from errors like double-counting, outdated data, or contracts already canceled. 关键索赔,包括国防部的重大削减索赔,是不准确的。 Key claims, including major Defense Department cuts, were inaccurate. 虽然一些小额赠款和合同被取消,但影响最小。 While some small grants and contracts were canceled, the impact was minimal. DOGE的透明度因报告不一致和未更新的“收款单”追踪器而受到损害。 DOGE’s transparency was undermined by inconsistent reporting and an unupdated "Wall of Receipts" tracker. 该倡议扰乱了联邦业务和解雇工人,但几乎没有带来什么财政利益。 The initiative disrupted federal operations and fired workers, but delivered little fiscal benefit. Musk后来表示他不会再重复努力, 无论是他还是DOGE都没有回答询问。 Musk later said he wouldn’t repeat the effort, and neither he nor DOGE responded to inquiries.
